Hi Andreas,<div><br></div><div>as far as I know, your only chance to achieve this is by modifying your source code by adding</div><div><br></div><div><div>#ifndef NDEBUG</div><div>#pragma comment(linker, "/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE")</div>

I hope this helps.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Hauke</div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 6, 2012 at 11:55 AM, Andreas Haferburg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ahaferburg@scopis.com" target="_blank">ahaferburg@scopis.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I'd like to suppress the console, but only in release builds. What's the official way to do that?<br>
<br>
add_executable(... win32 ...) doesn't work, because it switches off the console in debug builds.<br>
<br>
When I set LINKER_FLAGS_RELEASE to "/subsystem:windows", I can suppress the console in the release builds. However, the Properties window in VS2010 still displays "Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE)" in the linker settings, and has two entries in the command line: "/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE" and "/subsystem:windows". Only the latter seems to count.<br>
<br>
When I set LINKER_FLAGS_RELEASE to "/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS", CMake just drops it, and only retains "/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE" in the linker flags.<br>
<br>
It seems to me that CMake recognizes "/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS", but chooses to ignore it for some reason. The fact that "/subsystem:windows" works the way it does seems like a bug. So what's the proper way to achieve what I want?<br>
<br>
I'm using CMake 2.8.7 on Win 7 with VS2010.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Andreas<br>
